OSBI says a chase began in a residential area where Shelton drove through several yards. The officer then got out of his patrol car and tried to make contact with Shelton when he drove toward the officer. According to OSBI, the officer fired several rounds at the vehicle.
The chase continued into Mayes County where several other agencies got involved. Shelton eventually stopped the vehicle about five miles north of Locust Grove, fleeing the scene on foot.
